Individuals are the threads that compose the fabric of society. Thus, the physical, mental, emotional, and social health of an individual is crucial to establish a happy, safe, and healthy community. Without the good health of people across nations, establishing world peace and harmony will become unimaginable. Moreover, URI has always stood for healing, reconciliation, and harmony which will only sustain on good health. We attempted to uplift the overall health of people by various means.
Soup for The Soul
Social and emotional well being A special workshop by Light Up, Zestreet, and Sukoon was conducted for Anganwadi workers, women, and schoolgirls with an Army Regiment in Kishtawar and Thathri Doda, which belongs to the belt of insurgency in Kashmir. The workshop aimed at not just empowering women with vocational skills to help them earn their livelihood and become self-dependent. But also empower them with emotional skills and psychological support structures that can help them stand up for themselves within a patriarchal and socially repressive society. Additionally Light Up and Youth for Peace International also conducted a successful 5-day workshop about Social and Emotional Learning in Nagpur in association with Beyond IQ.
